Helpful guides
Yapton questions
Is asbestos common in Yapton homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Yapton and the area around Barnham station?
Yes. Barnham station is about 1.5 miles north-west of Yapton, and we cover both.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What happens next
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let us know where we can park
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
